Note that the commands being stuffed in the batch buffers are still very GPU-dependent. There is still a need for GPU-specific drivers with all this work.

Well that is what Gallium is designed to deal with right? Provide a winsys driver that is hardware dependent and then use that as a way to translate GPU-independent APIs to GPU-specific instructions...

Gallium3D should be introduced in a testable form in Mesa 7.5.
